Feeding advice....

[Rayzor]

What are ppl using to target feed corals. I know that many use a turkey baster but feeding my bottom dwelling corals necessitates my hand going in the water. Id rather keep my hands out of the water as much as possible.....I'm thinking a long long syringe ( like the ones u see genetic scientist using when they prepare DNA samples). But never have seen that at the LFS....
Thoughts, ideas, comments?????

It is easier to find these on-line although some LFS's do carry them:

I use something similar to the turkey baster, except that it has a nice long acrylic rod that the amazing Paul B made a few years back. See if he has one laying around.

I can always depend on the fine ladies of Manhattan reefs for excellent advice..... Going out to Absolutely fish today anyway....I'll see if they have something similar.....

Rayzor, don't get the Marine feeder thing...http://www.marinedepot.com/Kent_Mari...FDFETP-vi.html
It's a piece of garbage. I bought it to feed my eels, and it didn't even work for that.

This is what Paul B made. It is worth every penny..............

or you can just buy one of those types of baster feeders also, you can find longer ones at fish stores. just gotta look around.

I bought this, and chopped off approx .25" from the tip, which makes the whole big enough to pass mysid shrimp through it, as I fees my corals a mixture of many foods.
